With the efforts made by the Palembang City Government, it is hoped that Pasar 16 Ilir can become a popular tourist-friendly shopping center and improve the economy of Palembang city.
Meanwhile, Palembang residents are known for their friendly, welcoming culture and sense of humor. However, Palembang lacks natural resources like beaches and mountains that could be marketed as tourist destinations. This leads many tourists to ask where to vacation in Palembang.
